Hopefully they forgot sports drinks in Wisconsin.

Not a problem, there’s plenty of natures sports drink (H2O) available to RJS..

Central will have an even greater advantage in that regard over Stanford.  Afternoon game and an opponent who never deals with any sort of humidity.

In a simple answer, not much.  Some guys might cramp up but that always happens in week one, the Bulls will probably have a couple cases too.  UW runs a ball control O so it's not going to be a game with 90+ snaps both ways which should also mitigate the weather's impact a bit.

People all know that the weather in Wisconsin/Minnesota sucks. Usually the winter soaks up all the coverage because it is worse than just about anywhere else in the lower 48 and that is notable. Really though, the weather sucks because you get these extreme swings both ways, incredibly hot and humid during the summer then frigid and wet winters.  We get the worst of both worlds here.  It is certainly not Florida humid, but most of July in Madison was in the 90's with heat indexes around 100.  Enough to get you used to working in the heavy air at least.

 

Combined with modern nutrition/training staffs, weather shouldn't be much of an issue next week. But you never  really know...

Not going to argue, but you had ONE WEEK that could be considered hot by Tampa standards.

Here's an interesting way to waste time - https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/usa/madison/historic?month=8&year=2019

GO BULLS!

Oh I know Florida is on a different level, I used to stay with my cousins in Plantation every summer and it was unlike anything I've ever experienced.  But the game isn't at peak Tampa heat, it is at the end of August and at night. Right now it says it should be 88 with a low of 77.  Those are temps that Wisconsinites are very familiar with. That was my only point, that it does get humid in Wisconsin (not like peak Florida) so it shouldn't be a total shock to our guys. It's not like UCLA or Stanford coming down.

If we lose, I think we all know it will be because of the color of our uniform, not the humidity.

Failure to incorporate the half-back dive into the new offense will cause USF to come up short.

Late August isn’t peak Tampa heat?   Where do you get your weather info from?

I pretty much agree with this.  Yes the Humidity will get to the Wisky players somewhat, but it really won't be that big of a factor......Now, if this game was early Saturday afternoon, that would have been very difficult for the badgers.

The Bulls will just have to beat your butts on the field fair and square!
